"Corsair has been in just about every market related to PCs, and with a pretty good track record for both reviews from media outlets like ourselves, all the way down to the posts I see every day recommending one of their products based off of their own excellent experiences. We got to see their jump into water cooling with the Hydro series, and we just got to see the smaller counterpart of the Air Series coolers. The A50s entry to the market showed above average performance with a really good price point. Corsair offered up a cooling solution I could see myself telling others to buy.
To grasp what we are about to see, put an image of the A50 in your mind. Then take the cooler and widen the fin body, and slide in another 8mm diameter heat pipe. While you are widening the fins, you keep a similar outer shape, but since we are here, let’s add like 100 dimples to each fin in an attractive pattern. Now that we got the body of the cooler ready to go, let’s think cooling. Since this is a “high-performance” CPU cooler this time, why not throw in two fans on it for a push/pull configuration."

"I am sort of ashamed to say it, but I missed out on grabbing a CM 690 the first time they released onto the market. At that time I had still to figure out that a case really can be more than a place to house components. From what I can gather from hanging out around forums is that the original version was a highly rated addition by most people who owned them. Personally, looking back on it now, it doesn’t offer too much as far as options and any sort of wire management thoughts. To be fair, it has been some time since that case was designed and it is well worth of another go.
Cooler Master did just that, not that long ago. They brought us the CM 690 II. With this version, Cooler Master brought things that have made a lot of the other chassis’ we have seen from them have, and it had made them a success. So why not implement those same things here along with the typical “gamer” chassis want and needs; such as wire management, water cooling ability, great air flow and being completely black, inside and out. Cooler Master didn’t stop there, though; they kept on adding ideas and implemented them at their will, resulting in something I think you might like if you haven’t already seen this chassis."
